Skype for Android’s latest release apparently supports only a bunch of other handsets – the HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro and the Google Nexus S. Trust the ever enterprising spirit of mankind to hack said version to include video call support on all the other non-listed Android-powered smartphones. The particular version that we’re referring to was released with the Samsung Galaxy S2 in mind, although the performance will not be limited to just that particular smartphone. While it remains too early to perform exhaustive testing for other models, the APK (installation file for Android phones) has been touted to work on the HTC EVO 4G, alongside the HTC Thunderbolt with some measure of success.
Needless to say, only if your Android-powered smartphone has a front facing camera should you bother yourself with this version of Skype, and make sure that there is a decent processor hiding underneath the hood as well.

Just when you figured out that the Samsung Infuse 4G with its 4.5″ display was more than what your eyes could take, or at least, is the epitome in displays on a Windows Phone 7-powered smartphone, along comes the HTC Eternity that reportedly packs an even larger display – we are looking at (pun not intended) at a 4.7″ Super LCD display at 480 x 800 resolution, with additional rumors swirling around, pointing towards a single-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 processor, an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and 720p video capture ability, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, up to 16GB of internal memory, 512MB RAM, 14.4Mbps HSPA support, 1650mAh battery and Windows Phone 7 Mango as the operating system of choice.
Opera has not one, but two mobile browsers for Android-powered device owners to choose from, so it is nice to know that Opera decided to roll out upgrades for both – notching the version numbers to Opera Mini 6.1 and Opera Mobile 11.1. They are both ready for action over at the Android Market, with support for Google voice search thrown in alongside Google AutoComplete and Intelligent domain suggest. Those ought to make your search process faster, including when entering a URL, while providing alternative sites to check out just in case you were bored of flipping channels, deciding to surf random websites instead.
The original Samsung Galaxy Tab was meant to be an iPad killer, but unfortunately, it must have gotten its identity and purpose mixed up along the way because it was nowhere near such status after arriving on the market. Well, considering the larger Galaxy Tab 10.1 has already been released, surely there is quite a number of original Galaxy Tab owners who have made the upgrade switch. For those who have remained blindly loyal, here’s some good news – your Sprint Galaxy Tab will be receiving the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update very soon, where it will be known as build number EF17, sporting HD Bluetooth support as well.
Research In Motion (RIM), the company behind the BlackBerry, has just announced that their latest BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac which is in version 2.1, will now be able to support PlayBooks when it comes to media synchronization. Previously, you were able to copy files over to the PlayBook over USB or Wi-Fi from a Mac, but with this new version, you can rely on Desktop Manager directly to synchronize the entire bunch of music, photos, and videos with iTunes and iPhoto over USB.
Don’t you just hate it whenever you send your car to the mechanic to have him fix up a particular problem, that driving home after that, you discover another issue has risen? That’s more or less the case with the HTC EVO 4G, having received an update from Sprint which fixed the Netflix and other issues, although said update has caused frustration to users of voice search and Vlingo Virtual Assistant. Nice to know that their complaints have reached HTC’s and Sprint’s ears, with the companies responding that they are currently working on the voice-to-text and compass issues.
Getting around on a bicycle is already a green and healthy pursuit, but how do you make it greener? You can’t actually, but you can add more oomph to a bicycle with the help of an electric engine so that you can tackle those killer uphill slopes without breaking too much of a sweat. Terry Hope, a Canadian inventor has come up with teh Solar Cross electric bicycle, receiving its juice from the sun (obviously) as well as the rider’s hard work.
Sharp has sent yet another Galapagos tablet over to the FCC for them to prod and poke the device, making sure it is worthy and ready to hit the US market when the time is ripe to do so. This Galapagos tablet is also known as the EB-W71LJ-H if you happen to have a fetish for model numbers, and if one were to look at Sharp’s naming convention to date, it would most probably come with a 7″ display, making it the ideal go-between model as there are already 5″ and 10″ models from the Galapagos line which we already know.
